Riffin' On the Bliss Vehicle

“At that time Arjuna could see in the universal form of the Lord the unlimited expansions of the universe situated in one place although divided into many, many thousands.” 11.13 Bhagavad Gita The Universal Form

                To many a transcendentalist, this moment is the epitome of, as well as a compassionately concise guide in regards to how to actually experience, freedom. Arjuna is looking at the universal form, which, in Vendanta/scriptural responses is at times regarded as the “whole” universe, and at others is just any old universal form…any individuated form experienced in the universe… and in it He is seeing “unlimited” “expansions”…in engaging it he is seeing millions of diverging timelines which “branch off” from the moment of engagement regarding just how said engagement plays out…

                Assuming said engagement would even go precisely as planned. He is seeing possibilities that could potentially exist based on how he engages a particular thing at a particular time…but it’s possible that what he thinks is possible is an obscuration of what is ultimately possible and that even if he moves in on a motion with confidence utterly convinced that it will manifest a shown outcome…he doesn’t know that his plans of engagement will go precisely as…planned…

                And yet it’s mostly all a wash when you really think about it. Ultimately, it need be disclosed that the moment Arjuna is experiencing the “universal form” is a mystical moment in the Gita in which what Arjuna is witnessing is associated directly with Krishna, the Source, God, and that the experience is provided by the Source’s “internal potency”.  God, conceptually, the Source, the Transcendental, the Most High… it’s the only conceptual vehicle (absolute vehicles) in which one can see “unlimited” “expansions”…and this is important.

                We’ve come to learn that psychologically, humans can not tolerate some of the potential implications of mortality…of things being finite. Our emotions…our moral truths…everything we’ve ever come to learn in a deeply way real, it all implies the truth of Spirituality…of God…the infinite nature of living beings and how that nature escapes the material matrix… We are dogged by our hierarchy of needs in life, by our emotional states and natural ways…into finding a more overt implication of Infinity in our day to day lives, in our normal states of consciousness… and where that happens is in these conceptual vehicles that deal in Absolutes… “expansions” are phenomena…stuff we are used to…they have qualities and quantities…it’s the stuff of life we do know somewhat (I won’t say whole!).

                It’s only in God that we can see “unlimited” “expansions”… what we psychologically are cultivated to develop in regards to perspective by suffering as we live our lives… this is It. And even then, some will glimpse this utter opulence and be frozen with anxiety…albeit these moments more rare than otherwise. How do you know what to do when you are faced with the sheer gravity of your actions? What if the truth of the matrix of the material world is so real that to begin to awaken people to the full implications of the way they behaved while confused and suffering would seriously just break them/kill them on the spot? It doesn’t work like that, with good reason, but at time people can downright blow chunks in this here awakening thing…

                 To be honest with you, unless you are having a moment…some sort of natural spiritual experience, and these are few and far between relative to their counterparts with good reason… to randomly experience a passing moment of Oneness with All is not nearly as valuable being able to induce it with method… to be able to actually see “unlimited” “expansions” implies you’ve really nailed that method (it’s a conceptually simple one, albeit difficult to execute)…and it’s doubtful you would feel anything other than bliss/excitement at the visions you’re faced with.  

                I’m pitching a horror film regarding the 7th generation principle this Fall. The idea will be that the great glory of all of our suffering truly is a far better world for our community seven generations down the line, but what that’s going to mean for the people of this day and age in the here and now is not unlike what I’ve heard of the premise from the Squid Games/the classic film Battle Royale. It’ll be Highlander, there can only be one, so everyone will just kill each other until that One redefines the entirety of life as Singular/of a Singular Nature, therefore creating the cultural possibility of the promises of Oriental Spiritualty. They’ll clear up most of the social issues using space-age technologies and then as penance force the population to watch an indie art film about a really kind of shady 12 year old who uses a really nice Imac a loving but busy parent gifts him to download Limewire, and then he commences to contract so many viruses while making so many questionable decisions…

Here comes the adulthood…here comes the limewireeeeeee
